A sound like this, it tends to travel…

Following a premiere run at Atlantic Theater Company in late 2023, the jukebox musical Buena Vista Social Club heads uptown to Broadway, providing some much-needed heat for the tail end of a cold New York winter. Based on the eponymous music group’s self-titled album of golden age Cuban music, the show has a principal cast that includes Natalie Venetia Belcon, Julio Monge, Mel Semé, Jainardo Batista Sterling, Isa Antonetti, Da’Von T. Moody, Wesley Wray, Leonardo Reyna, Renesito Avich, Ashley De La Rosa, and Justin Cunningham. Buena Vista Social Club features a book by Marco Ramirez, choreography by Justin Peck and Patricia Delgado, and direction by Saheem Ali. Previews begin mañana (February 21) before a March 19 opening at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre.

“Step into the heart of Cuba, beyond the glitz of the Tropicana, to a place where blazing trumpets and sizzling guitars set the dance floor on fire. Here, the real sound of Havana is born — and one woman discovers the music that will change her life forever.

Inspired by true events, the new Broadway musical Buena Vista Social Club brings the Grammy-winning album to thrilling life — and tells the story of the legends who lived it. A world-class Afro-Cuban band joins a sensational cast of musicians, actors, and dancers from around the world for an authentic experience unlike any you’ve seen or heard before. Don’t miss this unforgettable tale of big dreams, second chances, and the power of art to help us survive.”
